Susquehanna Growth Equity

Offer description

Overview

As a Quantitative Research Intern at Susquehanna, you will work on projects that model the work of our full‐time employees. You will learn with mentors who are at the top of their field, allowing you to build foundational knowledge in quantitative finance.

What you'll do

* Over the 10‐week program, you'll apply probability, statistics and mathematical creativity to several impactful trading projects.
* Collaborate with researchers, traders, and technologists to help transform our quantitative modeling into trading opportunities and strategies.
* Read about Robert's 'Day in the life' as a Quantitative Researcher

What we're looking for

* Students in the penultimate year of their PhD program studying in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics
* Exceptional mathematical problem‐solving skills
* Solid communication skills, both in the ability to understand others and to make yourself clearly understood
* Strong, practical computing skills; a specific language proficiency is less important than your ability to get computers to accomplish tasks efficiently and reliably
* Experience working on in‐depth research projects

What's in it for you

* Our non‐hierarchical culture allows employees of every level to thrive and have an impact. We are not your typical trading firm – the environment is casual, collaborative and we focus on continuous development.
* Fully stocked kitchen - daily breakfast and lunch.
* Regular social, sporting, and community events.
* Visa sponsorship and relocation package where required.
* Explore our benefits and culture

By applying to this role, you will be automatically considered for the Quantitative Systematic Trading Internship program. There is no need to apply to both positions to be considered for both.
